Time's been flying by! We've been keeping busy this first month of 2009. Lauren has started swim lessons and as you can see she really enjoys it. Cassie and BJ have gone up to Eaglecrest three times now, Cassie has wrapped up her lessons just today and will be ready to hit the big slopes next week.

We rearranged our house a bit this weekend. We decided to move Lauren's crib back into her bedroom, kicking Cassie out into the living room. Actually, Cassie is OK with the change. Besides, it will only be a few months before we move back. Hopefully, this will allow Lauren to sleep through the night better, lets hope so!
Lauren's play area has been relocated. She does not seem to mind the change.



Also, we've had several nice times with friends. Nate and Sarah Geary (with kids) came over on Friday Night. On Saturday Ashley, Cassie and Lauren had a girls luncheon at the Sand Piper Restuarant. They got the chance to catch up with friends and had a great time. Last night we visited BJ's coworker's house and played board games, it was great.

BJ has received two job offers so far, one in Lincoln and one in Omaha. We're awaiting several more proposals this week, and the final few should arrive around mid-February. We are attempting to quantify the various factors going into our final decision such as location, living costs, etc. Definitely an exciting time in our lives!

Lauren is working on cutting her second tooth. She's crawling everywhere and can pull herself up in a hurry. Cassie and Lauren have a great time at baby group each week. They interact with many other babies and talk about various baby topics. They also enjoy their weekly lunch with Ashley.

Till we chat again,
Ashley, Brian, Lauren & Cassie
